it would be illustrative to have a graphical represaentation of the distribution
The last change (November 4) to the Brownian motion section was made by me... reference is "The Inverse Gaussian Distribution: Theory, methodology and applications" p29.

[edit] Parameterizations
There are several parameterizations of the inverse Gaussian distribution, including one which makes the relationship between it and a Brownian motion with drift more explicit (in terms of the drift parameter v and the variance parameter σ2). These other parameterizations should be at least mentioned. I am not aware of any good reason to present the given one as "canonical"; though if such a reason exists, it, too, should be presented.
